when the user submits 3 invalid entries call the error function and ask to rerun the program in matlab

main.m
invalid_count = 0;
max_invalid = 3;

while true
    user_input = input('Enter a valid input: ', 's');
    
    if is_valid(user_input)
        % Do something with the user input
        break;
    else
        invalid_count = invalid_count + 1;
        if invalid_count >= max_invalid
            error('Too many invalid entries. Please rerun the program.');
        end
        fprintf('Invalid entry. Please try again.\n');
    end
end

function valid = is_valid(input)
    % Define your validation logic
    valid = true;  % Assume input is valid by default
end

This code snippet demonstrates how to handle invalid user inputs in MATLAB by using a while loop to repeatedly prompt the user for input until a valid input is received. The is_valid function can be used to define custom validation logic specific to your program. The user is allowed a maximum of max_invalid attempts to provide a valid input. If this maximum is exceeded, the program will call error and prompt the user to rerun the program.
